Actually I think I have this figured out. It turns out
that, after extensive analysis, Stewart's behavior shows
remarkable similarity to that of my teenage daughter.
Periods of lucidity, even intelligence and insight, and
then, seemingly randomly, a vicious personal attack.
I therefore conclude that, behind his carefully constructed
persona, Stewart is in fact a teenage girl. Which might
explain his obsession about being a dick, too.
